    Hello everyone! Although it's online, so it probably doesn't count, you're the first people to know that I'm gay! This feels so freeing. "I'm gay." I like the sound of that. Congratulations for being the first ones to know!!!! :eusa_clap

    Well I did have my suspicions after the chiffon bathrobe incident. :wink:

    Seriously...

    Congrats. First step towards freedom and happiness.

    Crawl, walk run, even drag yourself but keep moving towards your happiness.

    Hello There, Gay Teen-

    Congratulations! You've taken a huge step. Saying it aloud (er, in writing aloud) is an important first step.

    My coming out, later in life, has been a joyful experience--I hope yours is, too.

    --Zoe

    Thanks for all of the support. It feels good to be (kinda) out to some people.

    Joining EC took a lot of guts! It took me several tries just to create my account, and even more to actually admit that there's a good chance that I'm bi! Coming out to anybody, even people you don't know, is a huge step!

    Welcome to EC! Congratulations on coming to terms on who are you! That is a huge step. Not to mention joining EC. It takes a lot of guts and I can't help but agree with destiny99. I was the same way. Minus the bisexual part.

    It's the first step! Have you said it out loud? That is a weird feeling for the first time.

    I went for a run in the park one day, stopped and just said out loud "I'm gay" to a tree as my first time. I then looked around to make sure no one heard me... Yeah well it helped me so that's all that matters.

    Good luck with the rest of it! Honesty is the best policy :slight_smile:

    To the OP, Dins3label is absolutely correct, it is really important to say it out loud, and as often as possible. It gets easier!

    Of course every time he passes by that tree...there is an awkward silence between the two of them...
